Situka is another single off the MUNA UGANDA ALBUM 2016 , let it inspire you and share it from one brother to another.
Born on the 12th of February in 1982 in Mpigi District south west of Kampala capital, Bobi Wine was christened Robert Kyagulanyi and joined nine other siblings into the harsh life of ghetto living in Kamwokya, one of the worst slums of Kampala.
His childhood life was characterized by moving from one school to another that he lost count. "I could only study for a term before getting expelled for fees. So the only option was to move to another." In secondary school he experienced set-backs as his problems became more complicated. "I used to have no money for uniforms and my mother was doing her best to cater for my fees and the family. So I had to go around doing odd jobs like collecting water for money, selling local fish fillet, laying bricks and things like that." If his problems taught him anything, definitely innovation was one of them.
Influences
"The world is looking for somebody to do something, not explain why he did not. These words, uttered by none other than H. E. The Ghetto President Bobi Wine reveal one who has gone through it all. By that, I mean all the constant hardships and hopelessness third world musicians go through without any breakthrough to success. But Bobi Wine is one of the few exceptions to the rule. His story has been the most inspiring.
"I love the reggae/dancehall style because I feel that's the best way I can express myself. And also it is the best medium to communicate content and message. It is because I have something to say and that's the best medium for it. It is music for my people, the poor where I come from. Artists like Buju Banton, Bennie Man, Sizzla, Dolly Paton to Kenny Rogers. Shabba and Bounty Killer are the major inspirations for my music. I chose music because I never had real happiness in life; it's the only thing that consoles me." He is working hard to become an international singer who moves crowds of people the way the king of Pop, Michael Jackson did. Bobi Wine says he is greatly inspired by musicians like Michael Jackson who come from humble backgrounds and end up influencing the global scene.
